Interesting or nice about this vacancy
For 12 years, the Odensehuis Groningen has been the meeting place for everyone dealing with memory problems or dementia. It is a place where everyone is allowed to be who they are, and where there is room to participate based on one's own abilities. And not only for the person with memory problems, but for everyone who is part of their network. Daily life is the guiding principle, and the needs of the visitors are the starting point. The Odensehuis is not a care institution and distinguishes itself from them in a number of ways. For instance, no referral is required for the Odensehuis, and no care file is created or treatment plan drawn up. The Odensehuis originated from a citizens' initiative. In 12 years, it has developed into a facility that has become indispensable in the municipality of Groningen. It has moved beyond the pioneering phase. The municipality of Groningen has supported the initiative (financially) from the very beginning. Partly as a result of this, the Odensehuis now has 3 locations in the city of Groningen (on Molukkenstraat, in the SinnigeStee on Donderslaan, and the Amkemakoepel in Beijum), each with a professional and paid coordinator. These coordinators are supported by volunteers. In addition, the Odensehuis is a recognized training company: many students make a valuable contribution during their internships. See also www.odensehuisgroningen.nl. The coordinators of the 3 locations are supported by a single (volunteer) board, which bears the ultimate responsibility. The board secretary is leaving at the end of this year, and therefore we are looking for someone who would like to strengthen our board in the position of board secretary.
Tasks and duties
The board consists of 6–7 enthusiastic members who feel strongly connected to the target group and the unique character of the Odensehuis. The board meets 8 to 10 times a year. Discussing substantive themes is also part of these meetings. The board also participates in the semi-annual consultations with the municipality. The board secretary, together with the chairperson and treasurer, forms the executive board.

Skills and qualities
